Abstract

We present a new classification for the genus Conus sensu lato (family Conidae), based on molecular phylogenetic analyses of 329 species. This classification departs from both the traditional classification in only one genus and from a recently proposed shell- and radula-based classification scheme that separates members of this group into five families and 115 genera. Roughly 140 genus-group names are available for Recent cone snails. We propose to place all cone snails within a single family (Conidae) containing four genera—Conus, Conasprella, Profundiconus and Californiconus (with Conus alone encompassing about 85% of known species)—based on the clear separation of cone snails into four distinct and well-supported groups/lineages in molecular phylogenetic analyses. Within Conus and Conasprella, we recognize 57 and 11 subgenera, respectively, that represent well-supported subgroupings within these genera, which we interpret as evidence of intrageneric distinctiveness. We allocate the 803 Recent species of Conidae listed as valid in the World Register of Marine Species into these four genera and 71 subgenera, with an estimate of the confidence for placement of species in these taxonomic categories based on whether molecular or radula and/or shell data were used in these determinations. Our proposed classification effectively departs from previous schemes by (1) limiting the number of accepted genera, (2) retaining the majority of species within the genus Conus and (3) assigning members of these genera to species groups/subgenera to enable the effective communication of these groups, all of which we hope will encourage acceptance of this scheme.

INTRODUCTION

Cone snails are members of a hyperdiverse group of marine gastropods that are well known and appreciated for their history of rapid diversification, their tremendously diverse and complex venoms, and the elegance of their shells. They include such emblematic species as the once mythical ‘Glory-of-the-Sea’ Cone (Conus gloriamaris) and the deadly Geography Cone (Conus geographus). From 30 valid species known to Linnaeus, the current accepted number of species stands at 803 (WoRMS, 2014). These live in the tropical and warm temperate seas of the world, from the intertidal to depths of almost 1,000 m. Like most species in the superfamily Conoidea, cones are characterized by the possession of a venom gland and a highly modified radular tooth that they use as a harpoon to inject venom into their prey. Toxins included in these venoms are being studied for the possibilities they offer to understand the mechanisms underlying the evolution of species interactions, ecological diversification and the functioning of the nervous system, and also for potential therapeutic applications.

After more than two centuries of naming and overnaming, the species-level systematics of cones is undergoing a reappraisal based, among others, on molecular characters, and this is leading to a more stable taxonomy. Conversely, the supraspecific classification of the cone snails has in the last 20 years become more unstable than ever. A plethora of nominal (sub)genera reflect subtle differences in shell form and radular morphology, but these are obscuring phylogenetic relationships between terminal taxa. While toxinologists are longing for a predictive classification that can be used as a roadmap for bioprospecting (Olivera, 2006; Puillandre & Holford, 2010), the two genus-level classifications of cones proposed in the last 25 years (da Motta, 1991; Tucker & Tenorio, 2009, 2013) have remained ignored outside the world of cone-shell collectors.

Whereas the general and characteristic shape of the shell has empirically brought together all cone snails in what for two centuries has been called the family Conidae, the relationships between the species within Conidae, and in particular their eventual classification in genera and subgenera, is still debated. The first modern divisions of the family Conidae recognized one family, 14 groups “which may even represent subfamilies”, and 29 genera (Cotton, 1945: 231), two subfamilies and eight genera (Walls, 1978) and eight genera and 60 subgenera (da Motta, 1991). These classifications were based solely on shell characters, whereas Tucker & Tenorio's (2009, 2013) completely novel classification was based on shell as well as radular characters. These authors divided cone snails into five families and 89 genera, while their restricted family Conidae was itself subdivided into four subfamilies. The robustness of this classification is questionable, when radular characters have been found to be a poor phylogenetic marker in other conoidean taxa (Castelin et al., 2012; Kantor & Puillandre, 2012). In fact, cone snails, or Conus sensu lato, is in itself a concept with blurred limits. Depending on the authors, some marginal species may or may not be included in cone snails. This is the case of the Cryptoconidae sensu Tucker & Tenorio (2009), treated by some authors as cone snails (e.g. Cossmann, 1896), while excluded by others (Tucker & Tenorio, 2009). DNA data indicate that Genota, a genus sometimes included in this family, may be more closely related to the family Borsoniidae (Puillandre et al., 2011). Similarly, Benthofascis was excluded from the Conidae by Puillandre et al. (2011). Consequently, the present study will not consider Cryptoconidae and Benthofascis as members of the ingroup, but will focus on the Conidae sensu Bouchet et al. (2011), i.e. Conidae, Conilithidae and Taranteconidae sensu Tucker & Tenorio (2009).

In the last decade, published molecular phylogenies (listed by Puillandre et al., 2014) have suggested that cone snails actually encompass very deep lineages that diverged at least 33 Ma (Duda & Kohn, 2005), the three main ones being the single species Conus californicus, sister-group to all the other cones, the ‘Small Major Clade’ of Duda & Kohn (2005) (corresponding to the family Conilithidae of Tucker & Tenorio, 2009) and the ‘Large Major Clade’ of Duda & Kohn, 2005 (corresponding to the family Conidae of Tucker & Tenorio, 2009). Furthermore, Espiritu et al. (2001) defined 21 molecular groups within the Large Major Clade. None of these molecular phylogenies was turned into a formal classification of cone snails. However, Bandyopadhyay et al. (2008) and a few others after him (e.g. Kraus et al., 2011, 2012) did apply the name Conasprella to the Small Major Clade, thus leaving the name Conus for the Large Major Clade. Several other generic or subgeneric names have also been used sporadically (e.g. Jimenez, Olivera & Teichert, 2007; Holford et al., 2009; Puillandre, Watkins & Olivera, 2010). Meanwhile, new names have continued to be established to this day, with no less than 127 genus-group names available to classify cones.

Puillandre et al. (2014) recently published a phylogeny of the cone snails based on 330 species and sequences of three mitochondrial gene regions. In the present paper we utilized this molecular phylogeny as a foundation to establish a new genus- and subgenus-level classification of the Conidae, with four genera (Californiconus, Profundiconus, Conasprella and Conus) and 71 subgenera (Fig. 1). We also tentatively allocate all cone snail species currently considered as valid in WoRMS, but not represented in the molecular phylogeny, to genera and subgenera based on their morphological characters.

(2014: fig. 2) showing the proposed classification. Genera and subgenera with multiple species are reduced to triangles, whose lengths are proportional to the branch lenghts. Posterior probabilities (>0.95) are shown for each node. Only (sub)genera with at least one sequenced representative are figured.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Turning the phylogeny into a classification

Proposing a classification based on a phylogeny mainly consists of (1) identifying the groups that will be named; (2) attributing available names and, if necessary, establishing new ones, for the groups identified in (1); and (3) ranking these names.

Identifying groups to be named

As far as possible, only well supported (bootstrap probability >90%; Bayesian posterior probability >0.95) clades (and single-species lineages) were linked to names. When several alternatives were possible (e.g. one supported clade that includes two supported clades, both with available names attributable to them), other characters and properties, such as shell morphology, type of prey, bathymetric and/or geographical distribution, were considered in order to identify the most appropriate grouping to minimize within-group variability. Overall, a conservative approach was adopted, to minimize the number of supraspecific taxa, both named and unnamed. In two cases (Pyruconus and Cylinder) we attributed a name to a group we recognized to be non-monophyletic (although this non-monophyly is not supported), in order to avoid having to establish new names for many small clades. Such polyphyletic, but morphologically consistent, genera may correspond to grades and in future each of the included clades may be shown to deserve its own name.

Naming of groups

As far as possible, a genus-group name (i.e. a genus or subgenus) was applied based on the position of its type species in the tree. If the type species of a nominal genus or subgenus had not been sequenced, application of the name was determined by reference to the morphologically most similar species used in the molecular analysis. If more than one name was applicable for a clade, the valid name was determined by the rule of priority. In the classification below, OD refers to the fixation of type species by original designation, SD by subsequent designation and M by monotypy (as defined by ICZN, 1999: Art. 68, 69, respectively).

Ranking of groups

Tucker & Tenorio (2009, 2013) attributed family-rank names to the main lineages identified by molecular phylogenies (i.e. the Small and Large Major Clades) and genus-rank names to groups of species that roughly correspond to the same level of resolution as the 21 groups defined by Espiritu et al. (2001). However, contrary to the first two steps of the process, which are based on objective criteria (e.g. monophyly of the taxa) and nomenclatural rules (e.g. position of type species), the attribution of ranks to the named clades is subjective. Taxonomists generally place two species in two different genera or two different families (or any other rank) based on a certain level of divergence, but the threshold of divergence at which a given rank is recognized varies greatly depending on the taxa, the characters involved and who is making the classification (Avise & Liu, 2011). Even for a given taxon and character (e.g. a nucleotide sequence), it is difficult to provide an objective criterion, since ranks above the species level are not defined by any biological attribute or property that could define a threshold. (For the rank of species, on the other hand, objective criteria for delimitation have been proposed, as amply developed in the literature on integrative taxonomy, e.g. De Queiroz, 1998; Samadi & Barberousse, 2006.) Accepting that ranking is to a large extent a matter of opinion, we also took into consideration prevailing usage. In the vast literature dealing with conotoxins, ranking has been very conservative, with Conidae being the only accepted family-level taxon. We have also been guided by dated molecular phylogenies of other marine gastropod clades. For example, the mean age of the most recent common ancestors of each monophyletic genus of Muricidae (Neogastropoda) is about 20 Ma, with a minimum of 9.5 Ma and a maximum of 42.2 Ma, and the age of the subfamily Rapaninae is estimated at about 61 Ma (Claremont et al., 2013: fig. 2). The most recent common ancestors of the bursids Tutufa and Bursa (Littorinimorpha: Tonnoidea) are estimated to be about 26 and 35 Ma, respectively (Castelin et al., 2012: fig. 7). The ages of the genera Littoraria and Echinolittorina (Littorinimorpha: Littorinidae) and of Turbo (Vetigastropoda: Turbinidae) are estimated to be respectively 55 Ma (Reid, Dyal & Williams, 2012), 50 Ma (Reid et al., 2012) and 60–117 Ma (Williams, 2007; Williams & Duda, 2008), respectively. To place these numbers in perspective, the oldest fossils attributed with certainty to cone snails are 55 Ma (Duda & Kohn, 2005), the minimum age for the divergence between the two main clades of cones is estimated to be 33 Ma (Duda & Kohn, 2005) and the species diversification within each of these two main clades is supposed to have started between 15 and 20 Ma (Duda & Palumbi, 1999). The main lineages within cone snails are thus roughly of the same age, or even younger, than the genera as defined in other groups of caenogastropods. In an attempt to assign ranks that are roughly comparable with those used for other gastropod taxa in terms of group age, we chose to rank the main lineages of cone snails at the level of genus. With this approach, all cone snails are placed in a single family (Conidae) and most (Large Major Clade) remain in the genus Conus (consistent with prevailing usage of this name). As stated above, based on the molecular clock calibrations of Duda & Kohn (2005), the lineages that ultimately gave rise to these genera presumably separated from each other at least 33 Ma. We further identified well-supported groupings within these genera and assigned the members of these groups to subgenera. Except for the difference in assigned rank, these subgenera are essentially comparable with the generic-level groups proposed by Tucker & Tenorio (2009, 2013).

Allocation of species to genus-level groups

All the 803 species of Conidae listed as valid in WoRMS (2014) were allocated to genera and subgenera, with two levels of confidence. Those printed in bold font were placed in the classification based on the DNA sequences of Puillandre et al. (2014). The others were classified based on their shell and/or radula characters, following Tucker & Tenorio (2013) and, for species not included or considered as synonyms by Tucker & Tenorio (2013), following Petuch (2013) or the advice of M. Tenorio (personal communication).

Species sometimes referred to as ‘cone snails’ but allocated to Artemidiconus (Conorbidae; Tucker & Tenorio, 2009; Bouchet et al., 2011), Benthofascis (Conorbidae; Tucker & Tenorio, 2009; Bouchet et al., 2011), Genota (Cryptoconidae in Tucker & Tenorio, 2009; or Borsoniidae in Bouchet et al., 2011) and Genotina (Cryptoconidae in Tucker & Tenorio, 2009; or Mangeliidae in Bouchet et al., 2011) were excluded. Within Conorbidae, only Benthofascis lozoueti has been sequenced and molecular analysis indicates that the family is separate from Conidae (Puillandre et al., 2011). However, B. lozoueti is the only conorbid species that does not resorb the inner shell walls (Tucker, Tenorio & Stahlschmidt, 2011). It thus cannot be excluded that the other Conorbidae species—which resorb them—may in fact not be confamilial. Likewise, as indicated above, molecular data place Genota in the Borsoniidae (Puillandre et al., 2011) and this clade is not further discussed here. Fossil taxa (Hemiconus Cossmann, 1889; Cryptoconus Koenen, 1867; Conorbis Swainson, 1840; Conilithes Swainson, 1840; Eoconus Tucker & Tenorio, 2009 and Plagioconus Tucker & Tenorio, 2009) are not discussed either. Consequently, only the Conidae, Conilithidae and Taranteconidae (sensu Tucker & Tenorio, 2009) are discussed below, i.e. the cone snails as defined by Bouchet et al. (2011).

The classification is summarized as a list of the valid Recent species with their genus-level assignment (Appendix Table 1) and as a list of nominal genus-group names with their current status (Appendix Table 2).

Type species: Conus californicus Reeve, 1844; OD

Included species:

californicus (Reeve, 1844)

Remarks: Conus californicus has always been considered a unique species within cone snails, because of its molecular (including toxicological: Biggs et al., 2010; Elliger et al., 2011) and morphological singularities and also because of its diet, since it is able to prey indifferently on fish, molluscs and worms (Kohn, 1966).

Genus Profundiconus Kuroda, 1956

However, Tucker & Tenorio (2009, 2013) found Profundiconus to be a morphologically well supported group and we are thus confident in applying this name to the clade containing P. aff. profundorum.

Subgenus KohniconusTucker & Tenorio, 2009

Type species: Conus emarginatus Reeve, 1844; OD

Included species:

Included species:

  • bruuni Powell, 1958

  • kinoshitai Kuroda, 1956

Subgenus Asprella Schaufuss, 1869

Type species: Conus asper Lamarck, 1810, by typification of replaced name. Asprella was established as a substitute name for Cylindrella Swainson, 1840 (see below). Conus asper was not among the 11 species included in Asprella by Schaufuss (1869: 43–44), and Wenz (1940) cited Conus sulcatus Bruguière, 1792 (a species originally included by Schaufuss) as the type species; Conus sulcatus and C. asper are subjective synonyms.

[Synonyms: Cylindrella Swainson, 1840; type species: Conus asper Lamarck, 1810; subjective synonym of Conus sulcatus Hwass, 1792; M. Cylindrella Swainson, 1840 (Conidae), is a homonym of Cylindrella Swainson, 1840 (Urocoptidae) and has been placed on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Names by ICZN, 1999: Opinion 1030. Sulciconus Bielz, 1869; type species (here designated): Conus sulcatus Hwass in Bruguière, 1792, n. syn. The names Asprella and Sulciconus were both published in 1869 and their exact dates of publication are not known in order to establish priority. Under ICZN (1999): Art. 24.2, we act here as First Revisers and give precedence to the name Asprella over Sulciconus.]

Type species: Conus cyanostoma A. Adams, 1855; OD

[Possible senior synonym: Mamiconus Cotton & Godfrey, 1932; type species: Conus superstes Hedley, 1911; OD. The identity of C. superstes is uncertain; it is listed as a nomen dubium by Tucker & Tenorio (2013)]

Included species:

Included species:

  • furvus Reeve, 1843

Subgenus Chelyconus Mörch, 1852

Type species: Conus testudinarius Hwass, 1792 [synonym of Conus ermineus Born, 1778]; SD, Cossmann (1896: 160)

Included species:

  • ermineus Born, 1778

  • purpurascens G. B. Sowerby I, 1833

Subgenus Cylinder Montfort, 1810

Type species: Conus textile Linnaeus, 1758; OD. Dubois & Bour (2010) revived the name Cylindrus as from Batsch, 1789 and designated Conus textile as its type species. This has the consequence of destabilizing the pulmonate genus name Cylindrus Fitzinger, 1833, which is in current use. The ICZN will be petitioned to maintain usage of Cylinder Montfort, 1810, and Cylindrus Fitzinger, 1833, in their accustomed sense.]

  • telatus Reeve, 1848

  • textile Linnaeus, 1758

  • victoriae Reeve, 1843

Remarks: Tucker & Tenorio (2009) described two ‘body plans’ in their genus Cylinder, citing Conus textile and C. gloriamaris as examples of each group; they may correspond to the two groups found in the molecular phylogeny. Tucker & Tenorio (2009) relied on their similar radulae and diets to maintain them in a single genus: we have followed them and place all the species in a single subgenus. Among the sequenced species, C. ammiralis, C. canonicus and C. dalli cluster with the type species C. textile; the other species constitute a separate clade.
